Indus River

Indus River, It is one of the
longest rivers in the world, with a length of some 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It
also has courses through western Tibet (in
China) and Northern India. Originating
in the Tibetan
plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar, the river
runs a course through the Ladakh
region of Jammu
and Kashmir, Gilgit, Baltistan and flows through
Pakistan in a southerly direction along the entire length of Pakistan to merge
into the Arabian Sea near the port
city of Karachi in Sindh

The river’s annual flow is about 272 billion cubic yards
(207 billion cubic metres)—twice that of the Nile River and three times that of
the Tigris.
